"Erica implied that Edmund displayed a lack of concern by not showing up at the hospital. Maria had no answer and fortunately she was saved from having to think up an excuse my Dimitri's miraculous awakening. Dimitri repeatedly muttered Erica's name and said that he had something to tell her. Joe had other ideas and told Dimitri that he can tell Erica anything he wants---but only after he takes a nap. Erica expressed a desire to spend the night with Dimitri and said that she would be back after she fetched some of her belongings from Wildwind.

After Erica left, Maria told Dimitri that he should hold of on telling Erica about their affair until his body is more fully recovered from the accident. Dimitri told Maria that he has to tell Erica about his affair before someone else does.

Mateo and Hayley slow-danced with each other and enjoyed the peace until Tanner popped his head in and asked if he could "cut in." Mateo told his friend to hit he road and allow him to dance with his fiancée. Tanner displayed his jealousy and told Mateo that "some guys have all the luck." As he asked Hayley if there were any other Chandler women as stunning as herself, Skye entered the club. Skye announced that she wanted to pick up some coffee to take to the office for Edmund. Hayley pulled her half-sister aside and told her that she is setting herself up for a fall if she thinks she can win Edmund's love away from Maria. Tanner scooted over and praised Skye as a "beautiful" woman. In privacy, Mateo told his buddy that Skye is everything that Hayley represents---but in direct opposites. Tanner seemed intrigued that the lovely woman could be a complete contrast to her equally beautiful sister. Jack checked in to see if there were any more leads on the mysterious robber. He suggested that Tanner drop by the station and have the sketch artist work on a photo of the could-be robber. Tanner swallowed hard, but agreed to make an appearance at the police station. Hayley was disappointed to learn that it was almost one hundred percent certain that Holidays would never see the $1000 that was stolen. Skye approached Jack and thanked him for keeping an eye out for his family. She also praised him as a wonderful man who Erica speaks very highly of. Just as Jack was asking why Skye was giving him an "ego massage," Andy entered and told Skye that he had been looking all over town for her. Skye rolled her eyes and told Jack that the man must have her mistaken with someone else. She made it a point to emphasize that she had the District Attorney as a friend. Andy seemed slightly frazzled by the mention of the high profile position of Skye's friend, but as soon as Jack left Holidays, Andy raced over to Skye to issue an ultimatum. He told Skye that if she did not sleep with him within twenty four hours, he would track down Mr. Marick and tell him that Skye altered the test results. Andy left Holidays, leaving Skye to fume by herself. She was less than polite when Tanner walked up to her and told her that she needs a "new dating service" because she is dating a "loser." Skye told Tanner to mind his own business and raced out of the bar. She left in such a hurry that she did not notice that she left her purse behind. Tanner noticed. He took Skye's purse and began poking around in her wallet and counting how much cash she had on hand.

Adam told Liza that he could find his bedroom by himself and that he did not need Liza's escort. He once again thanked her for her "performance" at the dinner party and told Liza that "Hansel and Gretel would never have gone to the witch with you around!" Liza joined Adam in his bedroom and the two chatted for a while. She told Adam that he neck was very tight and wondered if he could give her a massage. Adam agreed, but said that he could hire a personal masseuse for Liza if her neck cramps continue. Liza explained that everything in her life gives her stress and said that she would consider taking Adam up on his offer for a private masseuse---unless he would do it for her.

Downstairs, Tad showed up and said that he needed to talk to Adam about a last minute change in their syndication deal. Winifred was ready to track Adam down until Marian emerged from the shadows and ordered the housekeeper to delay on Tad's orders. Poor Winifred waddled back and forth like a duck at a carnival shooting gallery as Tad and Marian blurted out their "Get Adam"s and "Don't Bother Him"s. Finally, Winifred, crazed by the exchange, cried out that she was "so confused" and raced off to find a place to hide. Marian and Tad continued their bickering, raising enough of an uproar to lure Adam back downstairs. Marian was furious that Adam deserted his wife for business and demanded that he go back upstairs. Adam warned his new mother-in-law to go back to bed or find herself a new residency at the Pine Cone Motel. Marian retreated. Tad told Adam that there would be an affiliate meeting at the Sleepy Hollow Inn in the morning and that they would both need to be in attendance. Adam offered to allow Gloria to accompany them on the trip, but Tad informed his boss that Gloria was out of town.

Marian raced to Liza and told her that she needs "to strike while the iron's hot" or lose Adam and his fortunes. Marian made a comparison to famous women in history, but all of her choices ended up in tragic misery: Cleopatra (killed by a snake bite)," Marie Antoinette (decapitated), and Mary Queen of Scots (Also decapitated). Liza advised her mother to keep her nose out of her business. She added that she will get what she wants and keep her "head from ending up in a wicker basket."

Adam fell asleep on the sofa. Liza gently tip-toed down the stairs and approached her sleeping husband. She gently laid next to him and began kissing him. When Adam stirred, he told Liza to stop, but he eventually succumb to her seduction. Adam jumped from his bed, relieved that he was only having a nightmare. As he drifted back to sleep, Liza really did slip into his bedroom and cuddled him. When Adam realized what was going on, he ordered Liza out of his bedroom. Liza seemed surprised and said that it was Adam who was in her bed. She looked around and immediately offered and apology. She said that she suffers from sleep-walking and that consuming large amounts of alcohol (as she had done that evening) did not help matters. Liza excused herself and apologized if she had embarrassed Adam. He smiled and said that he is never embarrassed by having a beautiful woman in his bed.

Outside the room, Marian praised Liza's scheme and told her that she was on the right track.

Peggy asked Edmund why he was not at the hospital with his brother. She added that Maria and Dimitri both love him. It took only a matter of seconds for Edmund to realize that Peggy knew about Dimitri and Maria's affair. He seemed ashamed by the fact that everyone else knew about the tryst except him. Peggy said that no one told her, she "read Dimitri's face" and knew something was wrong. Edmund compared his upbringing to that of Maria's baby. He said that he was forced to walk around and pretend that Alf Gresham was his father, not knowing that Hugo Marick was his true father. Edmund insisted that Dimitri was no longer welcome in his house. Edmund later called the hospital to check on his brother's condition. Peggy overheard the call and smiled approvingly at Eddie's actions. Edmund warned her not to read too much into his phone call. Edmund told Peggy that he wants Dimitri to know what it feels like to lose the person that he loves most in the world.

When Erica returned to Wildwind and demanded to know why Edmund was not at the hospital, she received a weak excuse from Edmund. He said that he had some emergency business to handle at Tempo. Erica expressed her disappointment in Edmund and said that she was going back to the hospital to be with Dimitri. Peggy suggested that Erica spend the night at Wildwind because she'd be more comfortable. Erica laughed and said that she will not have much comfort in the months ahead now that she's pregnant. Edmund was stunned. Erica forgot that Edmund did not know and she waited patiently for Edmund to congratulate her. Edmund have her a hug and told her that he wishes she could always be as happy as she is now. Erica darted off to gather her belongings. Peggy praised Edmund for not telling Erica of Dimitri's unfaithfulness. Edmund shook his head. He told Peggy that he "just could not tell her."

In the morning, Adam decided to back out on his trip to the Sleepy Hollow Inn. Instead he put Liza on the case and told her that she and Tad would be handling the negotiations. The two left on the business trip. Marian was upset and asked Adam if he is trying to ruin his marriage by having Liza and Tad alone together. Adam cackled evily.

Dimitri began "sleep talking", muttering words that "the baby is mine." Erica woke from her sleep and hovered over Dimitri's bed waiting to hear what he had to say.

Edmund told Sam that he will always love him and that he'll be going away. He told Sam not to worry because he would be back every day to spend time with him. Maria went back home. When she walked through the front door, she found Edmund holding Sam, his packed bags on the floor."
